Rights
RECORDING
Loop allows audiotaping at almost every live performance. Taping is a privilege granted by the band to their fans. By respecting the following guidelines you can help the band extend the privilege of taping for many years to come.
When Loop is performing at a festival or other event featuring multiple bands, that particular event's policy may override loop's customary taping policy. When Loop is opening for another artist, that particular artistÂ’s policy may override Loop's taping policy. Under certain circumstances we may not allow taping and or duplication of a specific show due to the potential commercial distribution of that performance.
Loop is not in a position to offer AC power to any tapers. Tapers must bring, and are responsible, for all of their own equipment. Home decks and large mixers are not allowed. Please stay out of the way of the working crew/soundman and do not set up equipment in a way that would impair them to do their job properly.
DUPLICATION
All participants in audio recording exchange (regardless of format) acknowledge and respect the copyrights and exclusive ownership of the music and performances by the performers, writers and publishers.
All taping must be for personal use only, which may include trading (via analog or digital tape, CD, or digital file transfer).
Recordings may be traded freely on a strictly not-for-profit basis (no money is to change hands) and may be traded only for an equivalent amount of similar media.
In addition, the media by which audio trading is publicized may not be commercialized. Therefore no commercial gain may be sought by websites offering digital files of our music, whether through advertising, offer links for compensation, exploiting databases compiled from their traffic, or by any other means.
If we have chosen to offer for sale a particular Loop performance, this "official" version will take precedence over amateur recordings and said recordings should no longer be traded, or made available by websites, servers, or other means. In no case may any officially-released Loop recording (live or studio) be duplicated or otherwise traded or offered.
Taping at Loop concerts is authorized for non-commercial purposes only. Unauthorized sale, duplication and/or distribution is strictly forbidden. All Loop performances and recordings are the exclusive property of Loop. We reserve the right to withdraw our sanction of recording, tape trading, and/or non-commercial digital audio file transfers on a case specific basis or in general, as we deem necessary.
